Dot Dash Lyrics by Wire

On Returning (1977-1979)

1978

Mist closing in, getting thicker
One drops out, becoming quicker
Lights grow dim, they glimmer
The chances smaller, the odds are slimmer

Dot dash, dot dash, dot dash
Dot dash, dot dash, dot dash
Dip flash, dip flash, dip flash
Dip flash, dip flash, dip flash
Don't crash, don't crash, don't crash
Don't crash, don't crash, don't crash

Loosening my grip, be sure to tread carefully
Steering a passage, finding a line
Cross to comply, crossply
Progressive acceleration, skidding but the expression
Remains pan, radiators for all
Radial, I'm still in control
I understand, a hand, a hand moved me

Dot dash, dot dash, dot dash
Dot dash, dot dash, dot dash
Dip flash, dip flash, dip flash
Dip flash, dip flash, dip flash
Dot dash, dot dash, dot dash
Dot dash, dot dash, dot dash
Don't crash, don't crash, don't crash
Don't crash, don't crash, don't crash

Driven by self-propulsion
Turning right across the stream
The risks increased with sustained leisure
Courting death, so ill at ease

Dot dash, dot dash, dot dash
Dot dash, dot dash, dot dash
Dip flash, dip flash, dip flash
Dip flash, dip flash, dip flash
Dot dash, dot dash, dot dash
Dot dash, dot dash, dot dash
Don't crash, don't crash, don't crash
Don't crash, don't crash, don't crash
Don't crash
